I'm very excited to show you all my steampunk mini album. It's a very fitting end of summer celebration for me. I get to go back to school later today and I'm not happy about that! But I'll try to make the best of it and sneak in some time to craft ;)

Inside, the album is decorated with as many gears and movable parts as I could include. Each page or set of pages has a theme and they're based on photos that my husband took during our summer trip. He takes beautiful, interesting pictures of random things. I've been wanting to do a mini album for a while with those pictures.Of course there are many more pictures than I can fit in one album, but these are some of my favorites.

What did I use?
The album is from Maya Road and the stickers are dazzles from Hot off the Press.I used lots of Tim Holtz sprocket gears, game spinners, ball chain and locks & keys. Also used Maya Road trinkets flower elements, Distress inks in tea dye and antique linen(ribbon), Tattered Angels mist in coffee shop and Smooch Spritz in Walnut. Also various brown ink pads. I used lots of perfect pearls in heirloom gold and tsukineko brilliance ink in cosmic copper. The papers are mostly from DCWV tattered time stack and just a couple from GCD studios antiquities. The clock background is a free download from hot off the press.

Hello!
What a weekend! I went to Vegas for the weekend to celebrate my friend's birthday. We had a blast and even managed a visit to Death Valley on the way back. It was super HoT and I don't know how we managed in Death Valley. But we made it and we're back! We did the zip line on Fremont street and it was pretty cool. I start school again next week and it was a great way to celebrate the end of summer ;)
I have to find the pictures for you guys and I will post them soon.

Now for the winners of my rose ribbon candy:
I gave everyone a number and used random.org to get 3 numbers.
You all were pretty lucky because there weren't too many entries, everyone had a good chance.
So congratulations to:

About Me

Hi! I'm Karla. I Live in southern California with my husband, daughter & our 3 dogs. I've been scrapbooking since 2003 and loved crafts ever since I can remember. I ocassionally make mini albums, cards and altered art. Mostly you'll find 12x12 layouts here.
I love art and crafting and there is so much inspiration out there in people's blogs. I was missing out, so I decided to create a blog to find inspiration and connect with all you talented people!
When I'm not crafting I like to read, hike and travel.
